Wasn’t meant to snow here. Changed to snow about 15 minutes ago and the ground is covered.

None of our roads were gritted due to the heavy rain, so the whole area is gridlocked now

Dont think any of them were gritted around here either. I was raining first last night so i didnt expect it to settle but obviously i was wrong.

WE have had about 4 inches of the white stuff here although most of that had come down before midnight, roads and schools are open so it seems like busy as normal.

Opened the curtains and saw snow.
Went to front window and saw it was a Mr Whippy on it's side.
Actually it's settled on roofs-grass and greenhouse but road and footpaths are clear.
We haven't seen snow like this for a good few years.
Must be OK as delivery man has just arrived over the road.

Looked out the window this morning around 4ish and could see some snow had settled and was still snowing.
Roads were ok this morning when taking the Mrs to work.
Arrived at my work place and there was hardly any snow. Really starting to come down now, I'm hoping it sticks.

Before I go all "old man yells at cloud" - to the people on here in areas that have their schools closed, is it really that bad or is it just the usual overly dramatic pish?
One think you can guarantee to hear on the radio first thing in the morning when there is a bit of snow, is schools and railways closed lol

Snow here in MidWales, schools and the main road closed (A470) due to the snow, snow is easing off now.

Just raining down south...bah humbug.
I could see 4 schools were closed by us, but my sons school remained open.
Small roads, which haven't been gritted are still covered in a little snow but all of the busier roads are completely clear and fine to drive on.
I see no reason to close schools here for travel reasons, only if there is a heating issue.

No snow here. -4 overnight. My mate near Bromsgrove reports a few inches of snow today.

I had thought as much... It appears people have forgotten what the weather is going to be like in late Autumn and going into Winter and just panic when a little poor weather happens.
I despair for UK civilisation if a proper weather event happens - it'll be shouts for Government intervention no doubt rather than self-reliance.

We had to walk or take bus to school snow or not.
The first thing we did in playground was all walk in a line to pack the snow down as it was sure to freeze overnight so we had a slide across the playground next morning..
There was a few broken bones and cuts and grazes but it was never banned. We were harder then.
